In response to: The Ash and Tongham Housing Boom – Enough is Enough

I totally agree with David Reading.

The whole Parish of Ash appears to have yet more and more houses built without any additional infrastructure.

It is impossible to obtain a doctor’s appointment, including an appointment to see a nurse and we have to travel out of the area (and sometimes out of Surrey) to get a dental appointment.

The traffic heading out of the parish, on a daily basis, proves there is no employment here. The schools are oversubscribed and so it goes on and on.

Everywhere there are signs of high deprivation, including the number of homes needing food parcels.

The police are totally aware if they travel to Ash and another important “shout” comes over the radio, they have to make the nine-mile journey back to be of use. Anti-social behaviour and the number of dispersal notices proves this.
